    Thought I'd post my receipt from earlier although I have a question (I actually bought the wipes as I needed them rather than expecting them to be reduced) however they have went down to 32p which is fab and I'm not complaining but I have 7 items including the rice and the other 6 have reduced. My APG has therefore come out at £14.18 eeeek! I was only expecting a £10/£12 one. If anyone can help I'd be interested to know how it worked out like that :) thanks.

    There are three of you and you use nearly ten boxes of cereal a month? Are you following the Special K diet? :rotfl::rotfl:

    There's four of us and we can easily get through 3-4 boxes a week. Cereal for breakfast and usually a bowl for supper while we watch the telly :)
    My husband says he will leave me if I don't stop shopping......... God I will miss that man.

    Is that against Tosco ?

    That doesn't look right although you've bought the right items

    Edit: Just checked on msm and they've changed the prices at tosco since this morning
    ah ok thank you ,looks like another 1 bites the dust x

  • Hi all,

    Damn cant believe I have missed out on this, i was loving the Tosco DTD last year! I have been reading through the many threads on this but I cant get my head around it. Can someone explain, for example another member posted this receipt earlier but I dont understand how they are spending £16.78 and getting £13.89 back?

    There is a glitch in the APG programme which miscalculates some competitor prices. The first figure is the price you would pay at A, the second figure is the price the APG programme calculates you would have spent at a competitor (in this case Waitrose). The APG gives you the difference back plus 10%.

    7 items means 1 would compare at full price. Luckily for you that was the rice. Nice shop!!

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts I've been Money Tipped!
    If I put a 3 for 2 offer AND a 2 for 1 offer on same shopping list do I need two trigger items?

    Would it make a difference if one of the offers was at one supermarket and the other from another supermarket?

    Yes it would make a difference. Please read back and you will find some other peoples shops for some ideas. A will only give you one voucher during the comparison. So don't mix different offers from different supermarkets.
